overheating issue :(

Hey, I just got a 1991 camaro z28 350-auto.
Its got 180k, and completely stock.

The car overheats all the time.. a 15 minute drive and temp goes to red. I changed the termostat to a antipump one, waterpump, had the radiatot flushed, rad seems to flow well,as the mech said.

Theres a vibration coming from the front after a while of driving..
seems to be the fans.. but not sure..
The air dam is intact.

Im out of ideas..

Any avice appreciated

Thx

If you overheat that fast then there is something very wrong.
Start looking for more serious problems like blown headgasket or cracked head.
